Meaningless for now, but considering why Trump slected Kavanaugh, you con't really believe it was about abortion, right?

Does Trump strike you as the type of guy who could pick a Supreme Court Justice all on his own? I doubt he can pick his breakfast cereal without the help of his staff.

With that in mind, there are a myriad of reasons Kavanaugh was tapped for the position. Moreover, he was and is completely qualified for the job. And now that he's already joined in with another "conservative" justice denying cert. to cases where Planned Parenthood is under attack, all these fears about his intention to wreck Roe should fly out the window... but nope. It's just a temporary thing "for now"!

IMO, Trump selected Kavanaugh because he thinks a sitting president should not be distracted by lawsuits or investigations while in office.

I also think Kavanaugh disqualified himself based on temperment when he became unhinged and started blaming Clinton for Ford's testimony.

Maybe. Who knows? But I still don't believe he had much say in the short list of picks. To think Kavanaugh would or even could single-handedly affect the sort of magic to make lawsuits against Trump go away is a bit tinfoil hat-ish. If it's any indication that individual justices aren't there to do the bidding of their masters, Gorsuch has already issued proclamations counter to Trump's on immigration.

What matters today is Kavanaugh just disproved the fears that he's a threat to Roe.
